Title: AW Reverse bookings ?
Post by: Harlow on 07 June 2010, 09:48:36 am

Hi,

I am currently setting up an AW profile, so I don't know all the ins & outs so to speak :)

I am having a total blonde moment with reverse bookings,  what the hell are reverse bookings?

Can anyone explain :)

Those seeking services can post what they are looking for " Female 25-35, London, ?80, must do cim" and then you can make a bid on it if your available for that time and offer the service required.  You can bid more than they want to pay but if they want to pay ?80 and you charge ?200 it probably won't be worth it.

Hope that helps.

I have started bidding on these for areas I am touring in. Normally these guys wont have seen you as you are not in their area yet but I find once they know you will be you end up with quite a few bookings from it.

I always put in my normal rates though as some of these guys are really trying it on. I saw one in my area yesterday 2 hours for ?40 ::)

And if you are touring you can always be a little cheeky and say " sorry I can't make the date your looking for but I am in your area on .... "

Don't you change your postcode to the area you are touring? I got loads of bookings  from doing that.

I've answered quite a few reverse bookings mainly for longer dates - weekends etc. However, most of them never happen. Also, they start emailing you asking loads of questions like an interview which is a pain in the bottom.

Yes I do but I like to make sure I have alot of advance bookings before hand and the RB system is a good way to let people know you will be in the area before you get there.
